The Human Gaze & The 6/9 Problem - MHT Consult (DK)

Event

And this is where our story begins. Right here, at the end, in a final search for hope.

The Human Gaze & The 6/9 Problem is a mythical music performance that connects the past, present, and future in a cyclical universe. Inspired by Nordic Mythology, especially The World Tree Yggdrasil and Ragnarok, it tells of the relationship between humans and nature and the challenges of climate catastrophe. The performance moves between hopelessness and hope, between awareness of human destruction and the possibility of a new beginning. This genre-mixing production features poetry, songs, dance, music, soundscapes, video projection and lighting design.

CANCELED - Nico Boon lecture performance - About Playwrighting 1

caceled today due to a conflict in the programme

 

About Playwriting (A Lecture) was created as part of Nico Boon’s doctoral thesis at the Associated Faculty of the Arts (KU Leuven/LUCA School of Arts). In this lecture, Boon approaches playwriting as a practice of continuous improvisation, in which chance, rhythmic intuitions, auditory awareness, bodily impulses, shapeshifting, and experimenting are more important than fixed narrative structures, or clear meanings, or distinct boundaries. He views playwriting as a transgressive enterprise that always refuses to choose a definitive form.

ZOÉ - An Immersive Science Fiction Poem - UniT (AT)

The music performance ZOE imagines a speculative future in which the stage becomes a living landscape and an active system of encounter. Electronic music, voice, bodies, and space form a nonlinear, multisensory web of human and more-than-human perspectives. ZOE is a science-fiction poem beyond the Anthropocene — a polyphonic narrative of the Earth’s ongoing becoming and the life forms it sustains.
